Predictive medicine enables the personalized prevention of disease. Not only do your genes determine what diseases you are predisposed to, but also they can be used to ascertain the most effective (and least effective) preventive measures in order to protect you against those same diseases. Existence’s
Nexus technologies allow for an extremely comprehensive analysis of your genes, enabling Existence to be able to provide you with not only an assessment of your risk for a wide range of diseases, but also, and more importantly, the exact preventive measures that are most likely to be effective in decreasing your risk of contracting those same diseases. We refer to this type of personalized prevention of disease as "Genetically Tailored Prevention" because it is prevention tailored to your genes.
This personalized, genetically tailored prevention makes predictive medicine a true revolution in health care and changes the medical paradigm from being generic, reactionary, and defensive (waiting for disease to occur, then diagnosing and attempting to treat it) to being fully personalized, proactive, and finally going on the offensive against disease. We can now detect disease predispositions years or even decades before the disease occurs and institute genetically tailored solutions that will either prevent the disease or significantly minimize its impact should it ever occur.
